Iran is set to receive an advanced Russian-made anti-aircraft system by year-end that could help fend off any preemptive strikes against its nuclear facilities, senior Israeli defence sources said on Wednesday.

Great post! That’s what I was thinking about. “Russian Radar” - why not just have some goatherders throw rocks into the air.
These are advanced. Boooooooo-ooooooo-waaaaaaaa-haaaaaaaaaa-haaaaaaaaa...
Like Russian advanced television sets, refrigerators ?
On the other had this gives reason to strike before they get set up if the Russians have fixed the Syrian bug.
The “Wall” may be down but the “Cold War” continues.
No they can’t. It was the likes of Debka that gave Syria advanced modern air defense systems. The Israelis took the path of least resistance to the undefended target in the eastern Syrian desert. The Syrians took the gamble on not drawing attention to the facility by positioning air defences around it. They gambled and lost.
The Israeli’s used part of Turkish airspace and skirted through the least defended part of Syria to get to the facility. No Israeli planner is going to endanger or take the risk of putting a strike package through the main areas of the Syrian air defense system.

There is no Syrian bug. You are falling into the trap of listening to media hype. There is no magic button to take down an entire air defense system.
The likes of SA-10/20 and SA-15s are taken extremely seriously by the likes of the Israelis, U.S. and NATO. The Israeli’s themselves know bitterly through aircraft losses to Russian SAM systems over the years. They don’t take the threat of the latest Russian systems lightly.
Good for Iran! They need the best equipment and this is an excellent purchase for them.
They even can ask the Syrians for references.
Ethel Merman jams Russian radar!
Funny how Russia and Barack Obama have so much in common... They like to have it both ways/take two different stands on the same issue at the same time.
Only recently, there was word out of Moscow that Iran did, in fact need to end the nuclear projects.
Now Russia is going to help protect those same projects.
Hmmmm...
What’s that? I count about 46 big ass bombs all at once from one aircraft? KA BOOM Iran.
